Three killed in Russian strikes on Ukrainian city

Three people have been killed in Russian attacks on residential buildings in Balakliia, a city in eastern Ukraine, according to local authorities. The strikes occurred overnight on Thursday, with emergency teams now working to extinguish fires that broke out at the strike sites and clear the rubble. The exact circumstances of the attacks and whether they targeted military installations remain unclear from initial reports. Balakliia, located in the Kharkiv region, has been subject to repeated Russian bombardment since the invasion began in February 2022. The city, which has seen significant civilian casualties throughout the conflict, lies relatively close to the front lines of the ongoing war.
